Germany sent a clear message to the rest of Europe with a convincing 5-1 win over Scotland in the Euro 2024 opener. The hosts dominated from start to finish, with emerging star Florian Wirtz scoring the opening goal and Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz, Niclas Fullkrug, and Emre Can adding to the rout.
The win puts aside concerns about Germany’s recent underwhelming performances and cements their status as contenders for the title. Scotland, on the other hand, faces an uphill battle to progress from Group A after a lackluster display.
Wirtz, in particular, made a name for himself with a standout performance, scoring the opening goal and impressing until his substitution. Alongside Musiala and Havertz, he forms a formidable front three that could propel Germany to glory
